Kit is "Happy Talk" by Three Paper Peonies & Designs by Anita, template by Joyce Paul for an M Scraps challenge
I promise this isn’t turning into a showcase for all of my digiscrap pages, but I had to share this one. I’m *almost* done editing the 300+ photos from my cousin’s birthday party. When I saw this week’s challenge at M Scraps, I couldn’t resist.
One thing I’m still adjusting to with my new lens is the advantage of Image Stabilization that my previous favorite lens had. But, the shallower f-stop still wins me over on my new nifty fifty 
A lot of the photos from the party turned out blurred, not just because of quick motion, but because the birthday girl & her guests were moving at sonic speed! I couldn’t focus quickly enough, even on auto focus!
Once I get the party photos burned onto disks for Birthday Girl’s parents & grandparents, I’ll share some more. Until then, I’m going to sip my iced tea and try to stop coughing up a lung with all of the smoke in our air from the fires!

So adorable! Stopping by from SITS, wonderful to meet you! Are you around the Grapevine? I see you mentioned smoke in the air and your from Cali so I assume, we are in San Diego and just traveled through there. Hope it clears up for you soon!
We’re right smack dab in central california — in the valley where all of the smoke & smog from down south settles. Plus, there was a fire somewhere in our county yesterday that was a few acres of fork lift pallets! It’s pretty bad year round, but right now is the pits
Thanks for visiting!!!
What an awesome thing to do for your cousin and her family. I am sure they will treasure it.
